this is - once again - thanks to RYP & Gyro1966 over at the TWILIGHTZONE! blog.

these are the Alligator Stomp cajun/zydeco series by Rhino. there are 5 in the series from what i can tell. if you like rather rowdy cajun music, then this is one set that you will really enjoy.

"Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour" series

this is - once again - thanks to RYP and Gyro1966 over at the TWILIGHTZONE! blog.

this is dylan's "theme time radio hour" program that he ran from 2006-05 thru 2009-04. it's ONLY the music, not the commentary. still, it's really good listening and very wide-ranging stuff. i have no idea how many volumes there are, but so far each one has had 4 disks full of music. nifty!

"Music for a Bachelor's Den" series

this is courtesy of the "fear and loathing with el crowley" blog. many thanks to "el crowley"! [*grin*]

really rather fun and very inconsistent collection of "batchelor's den" tunes. most of them are exotica, others are lounge. if you like the ultra-lounge stuff, then you will have heard some of these - and you'll like the rest.

"Stompin'" series

yet another thanks to the folks over at the "Rock It!" blog.

i thot this set would be R&B or jump blues. much of it _is_ and some is blues with a smidgeon of swing here and there. still, it's fun music! [*grin*] various online references indicate there are 20+ in this series. they appear to be a series of LP releases, from what i can tell. as of today [2011-08-01] there are 27 listed at the Rock It! site.
